Planning your cake

I recently made my first all gold cake, for a wedding at The Decorium in North London. An all gold cake may seem over the top to some people, but this one matched the venue perfectly. The design of your cake should always compliment the venue it will be displayed in, remember the entire setting rather than thinking of he cake as a stand alone item.
Ordering a gold cake however isn’t as simple as it sounds. There are many many different shades of gold and picking the right one is just as important as the design itself. I’ve never quite found the right shade off the shelf...

When singer Maria Evangelou was planning her wedding cake and came to me armed with her woodland inspired designs from Pinterest I knew I wasn’t going to be able to do this alone. I needed a florist, not just any florist but my florist, Mel at Ramels Florist based in Potters Bar. Mel and I have worked on projects before and she is my go to person for all things flowers.
To pull this off we’d need some planning, a bit of spare cardboard and some extra moss.
If you are thinking about having fresh flowers on your cake then speak to your florist and see if she regularly...
